Women would be safe both at home and office: Jamaat Ameer

Addressing concerns about women’s rights, Jamaat-e-Islami Ameer Dr Shafiqur Rahman Dr Rahman assured that women would be safe both at home and in the workplace.

He also emphasized the need for unwavering unity above all else to ensure national progress, justice, and communal harmony for a better future.

He has declared that the party will prioritize national interests above all else.

Speaking at a workers’ conference in Satkhira on Saturday, he said: “Dark clouds have gathered over the nation, and vultures loom in the sky. We won’t give them any chance.”

He emphasized the commitment to building a corruption-free Bangladesh, ensuring justice for all, and achieving balanced development across the country.

Ameer outlined a vision for a prosperous nation where youth are empowered with education and employment, saying: “We want a system where education shapes good citizens, not criminals.”

He rejected claims that Jamaat would restrict women, emphasizing their freedom to contribute to the nation within Islamic values.

He also emphasized communal harmony, envisioning a Bangladesh where places of worship like mosques, temples, and churches would require no security.

“Our country is a garden of harmony,” he said, urging vigilance against forces seeking to disrupt peace.

He claimed that Satkhira has suffered the highest number of killings and injustices in the country.

Referring to past political violence, he condemned atrocities, including the events of October 28, 2006, and the execution of Jamaat leaders.

The conference, held at the Satkhira Government High School grounds, saw large attendance from supporters across the district.

Several Jamaat leaders, including Shahidul Islam Mukul and former MP Gazi Nazrul Islam, also addressed the gathering.
